So WTF is this then? How do they make money to pay off their users? I don't think this can be an ordinary ponzi, everybody knows info about owners and the company, if they scam so many people, they ll be in jail for millions of years. There must be some other agenda behind this.
I agree with you....
but have you heard of Mt Gox?
Sure but Mt.Gox was an established business with clear business plan and strategy which could have generated profit for the company. Their owner being a scammer is a completely separate issue.
On the other hand, I cannot identify this business strategy part when talking about hashlets, how do they plan to make money, at least in theory. Once this is identified, then we should talk about whether they are able to execute that business strategy.
